At The Senri Dental Clinic of The Sunstar Foundation for Dental Health Promotion, we conducted a survey of 184 new patients under 35 years old regarding fluoride in order to discover what they think about fluoride.
The results obtained were as follows;
1. Numerous new patients know of fluorine and not many have a bad impression.
2. Not many patients who experienced fluoridation have a bad impression, and 45.1 percent of them answered “have no idea”.
3. Only 20.6 percent of the patients wanted to use fluoride and many of the patients answered “have no idea”. These results suggest that though few new patients tend to use fluoride, we think the number of patients who use fluoride will increase if we advise them adequately.
